Before taking the field each inning, we huddle and sprint to our positions. In this drill, we number off one through nine (or depending on number of squad). We huddle, yell "Defense", and everyone sprints to position assigned. Once there, I will throw a pop fly signifying the third out. If caught, everyone sprints back to the huddle. Then each person adds one to her position number (1-pitcher becomes 2-catcher, 2-catcher becomes 3-first base, etc.) and sprints to that position. Repeat until each player has been in each position.
